FRITZ HANSEN Calabash P1 hanging light matt black

Design pendant lamp Calabash™ - an eye-catcher when switched on and off This pendant light makes a splash in any room or space: Calabash™ looks very impressive both on and off. The name is inspired by the design, which is based on the shape of a calabash gourd. Calabash™ unfolds its effect not only as a solitaire, but also in a duet or in a group, e.g. as a light source above a dining table or a counter. Komplot Design is responsible for the expressive design of the Calabash™ pendant lamp. The name Komplot Design stands for the designer duo Poul Christiansen and Boris Berlin, the founders of the design studio Komplot Design, which was established in 1987 and is today one of the most innovative design companies in Denmark. They have succeeded in continuing and renewing the tradition of Danish design, while also taking international design into account. The history of FRITZ HANSEN begins with its eponymous founder Fritz Hansen, a cabinetmaker who obtained a trading license for Copenhagen in 1872. In 1885 he founded his own furniture manufacturing company and two years later a firm in Christianshavn in downtown Copenhagen. The high quality standards that Fritz and his son Christian introduced still characterise the Danish company's product range today. Already in the first 50 years of the company's history, the company had a high reputation. Fritz Hansen furnished buildings such as the University Library, Copenhagen City Hall, the Supreme Court, Christiansborg and other important projects. In the 1930s, high-quality furniture made of laminated wood was introduced, which became a specialty of the company. Many renowned architects and designers, such as Arne Jacobsen, Hans Wegner and Verner Panton, worked with FRITZ HANSEN. In 1979, the company, which had been family-run until then, was largely transferred to Skandinavisk Holding.
